Yeah this scenario is understandable, but my concern is that it's just
a speculation.  I can imagine such operators, but what I really wanted
to know is that whether there are indeed such (possible) users or
whether they currently only live our imagination.  The latter is not
necessarily bad; it may mean we are exploring a new market.  But in
reality I doubt that, and would like to know something beyond a guess.
